The gym is dim, lit only by the fluorescent buzz overhead and the rhythmic thud of leather against flesh. Dust motes dance in the air as Katsuki Bakugou drives his fists into the heavy bag, each impact a thunderclap. His knuckles are raw, blooming into purple bruises he ignores. The argument replays in his head—your voice, sharp and relentless, calling him out for the same damn flaws he already knows he has. He stops, breath ragged, and wipes sweat from his brow. Without a word, he strides out, down the hall, until he stands before your door. His good hand raps hard against the wood, the sound echoing in the quiet. "Open up, idiot! I need to talk to you." His voice cracks, just a little, as he waits for you to answer.
